Zimniy & ChiselEcho

I was just looking at the faint cracks in the façade of the old cathedral, and I wondered—how long does silence stay in stone before it starts to whisper back? Got a moment to share your thoughts on that?
Zimniy
Stone keeps its silence like a memory, holding it until the next breath of wind or footstep reaches it. Only when something moves through it does it start to whisper again.
ChiselEcho
Exactly. I always test the wind’s path before I touch stone. If it starts talking, either there’s a hidden flaw or the wind finally heard me.
Zimniy
You listen, and stone keeps its secrets until you ask.
ChiselEcho
I only ask stone when I'm ready to write its answer in my ledger; otherwise it keeps its silence.
